KONZERT

Sandro Perri

Sandro Perri, vor allem bekannt als Kopf hinter POLMO POLPO und GLISSANDRO 70, veröffentlichte letztes Jahr sein neues Album „Impossible Spaces“ (Constallation). Inspiriert von Singer/Songwriter-Größen wie Tim Buckley, Tim Hardin oder Harry Nilsson zelebriert sich Sandro Perris neuestes Werk als wohl vielleicht melodischstes Postrock–Album 2011. Mit einer Mischung aus schönen LoFi-Klängen gepaart mit alternativen Folk, quietschenden Synthi-Flächen und schrägen Beats, lässt Perri seine Zuhörer regelrecht in „Impossible Spaces“ eintauchen und manchmal auch, mit einem Augenzwinkern verwirrt zurück.

SYMPOSIUM

The European Wars of Religion. An Interdisciplinary Reassessment of Sources, Myths, and Interpretations

While analyzing various kinds of early modern military conflicts in comparative perspective historians too have recently developed much more nuanced views of the religious wars and the emergence of the modern nation state. This final meeting of the research group „Religion – Politics – Violence“ is dedicated to a careful interdisciplinary reassessment of the meaning and character of the European wars of religion by focussing on the complex and changing relationship between religion, violence and state building.
